Gordon was born in Highland, Kansas, where he married his wife, Virginia, in 1948; they spent most of their lives in the town and were married for 65 years.[1] He was appointed to the Kansas House of Representatives in 1975, to fill out the remainder of the term for a seat left vacant by the resignation of George Van Bebber.[2]
Gordon served in the Kansas House until 1982, when the death of John E. Chandler left the 1st senate district open. Gordon was appointed to that seat and won re-election in his own right in 1984.[2] He was succeeded in the Senate by Don Sallee.
